Morelos New Contract

[NixonRFC 1,345]

It was a year ago he signed the last extension wasn't it, the Friday before the tim game on the 11th March, wonder if there's more to the timing than mere coincidence.

Why, a release clause doesn’t benefit the club in any way?

[TopCat 4,511]

Clever piece of business by the club. Well done to everyone involved.

 

Can't see him staying in the summer but this contract should see us getting top dollar for the wee man if he does move on.

[SeparateEntityMyArse 53,802]

If he's wanting away in the summer, his agent's just made that more difficult for him by strengthening Rangers hand. 

If the deals to leave were in place or close, and suited Morelos and his agent, then why make it cost clubs millions more to make it happen for the sake of a few more grand a week between now and summer? It will likely take options off the table for him now.

Player happy, agent happy, club happy. He's now staying, for the reasons he himself has given, unless bonkers bids come in which I'd imagine the club would consider mid 20s to be.

Obviously it is a matter of opinion, and although I hope he stays at least another year, it is my opinion he will be off in the summer.  If the release clause is set very high, agreed by both the club and Alfredo, then that should be the amount we dictate.  Will be higher than we would expect if he hadn't signed a new extension.  It is one of the ways these contracts work nowadays.

He’s either scoring a hat trick or sticking the heed on some cunt the night.

If it’s the latter let’s hope it’s a belter!!

The higher the fee we get the higher the fee the agent will get. 

[Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310]

This gives us such a strong hand.

I think now that the club have convinced him to stay for one more season and build on where we are just now.

[Leeds_Bear 8,110]

If there is a release clause it's now very clear to Alfredo. Unless someone comes in and pays £20m then you're not going anywhere.

Works for both parties and removes any uncertainty around bids of £12/£13m/£15m etc.

To be fair, when did we last see a player make the impact Alfie did?  His extensions have all been deserved, he was on relative peanuts when he signed and now he has several clubs with money to burn courting him if rumours are to be believed.

Im glad it's an extension and not just a salary increase.  I take this a bit differently from others and hope this means we are going to try and keep him one more season.

In terms of impact I think the last player in the kind of form he is in was probably Kenny Miller in 10/11. But completely different scenarios to then. We couldn’t afford to give him a new deal so sold him to Bursaspor.

I think I’d be more comfortable with this if he was scoring goals against celtic and was better in the Europa League Group Stages than he was. 

We are actively trying to get as much for him as possible, that’s clear. But I’m worried about whether this extra outlay will actually be realised in the final price. 

[Pure_Quality 3,295]

Think this probably means he's away after this season in all honesty. £150k extra in wages for Alfie and a nice big release clause which has now been upped to something similar to what Robertson mentioned. Rangers win because the release clause is higher; Alfie wins because he's getting paid more and the agent wins because he'll get a bigger cut of the inflated fee. £150k now to make an extra, say, £5m in the summer seems good business.

Let's enjoy him while he's here.

If teams are now willing to pay that higher price we can command.

[We Will Follow Rangers 12,942]

Think his comment about "scoring many more goals between now and the end of the season," is very telling.

What you mean is you hope there isn't?

A lot of people don't seem to understand that release clauses aren't good for a club. Selling club has nothing to gain from an amount that they have to accept. 

[Sket 13,610]

He's won me over this season,he has been  fucking exceptional. Shouldn't be leaving for anything less than £25 million.

Yeah but he bullied the celtic defence last game and scored a few for us in the Europa.  Im hoping us increasing his deal is more about us trying to hang onto him another season and not letting his contract slowly wind down to ensure we get maximum value when we sell.

Celebrate his hat trick goal with a header on somecunt.

[16BlueSherbert90 19,224]

It's a very smart move by the club, however, I do believe there is a part of him that loves how he is treated by our fans. He wouldn't get that same feeling anywhere else in my opinion.

The money would be great,  but even that doesn't beat the adoration he is given, so he may very well give us one more season which would also guarantee him European games as top striker with the Quintessentially Greatest Club in the world 

[Jb85 1,783]

Alfredo, Alfredo, Alfredo. Adds a few million onto any bids that’ll probably be made. 

[KingKirk 25,687]

5-10 million Kevin Kyle told us

[plymouthranger 3,887]

I expect we’ve removed a release clause from a previous contract by offering to pay him more. There’s probably a loose term like “should an offer over X amount from an EPL club come in, you can speak to them”.

If we could get another year out of him we’re laughing, but realistically we need to sell someone for good money to have money to spend on the team. Tav would probably be the most likely at present

Was he not happy with the contract signed in March last year or the one he signed in September last year?

Anycunts gona take more money fool

[MrMeeseeks 374]

Brilliant move this! We all know he's most likely off come summer but now this will merit a guaranteed large fee for him from the clubs that throw cash around like it's nothing. No brainer on his end either, being able to command a much higher wage when contract talks begin. 

[cushynumber 25,178]

whatever else, it keeps his name in the spotlight thats for sure.

[.Williamson. 82,525]

Still think he'll be gone in the summer but good that we'll get good money for him when he leaves
